That was a fun.... was good chatting with you both. Shame we didn't get a bigger turn out. I'll try and make the Tuesday night Dracula too, its been a few years since I've watched it, and absolutely love that flick, so might have to pull a late one. Need to sort out why my mic wasn't working tonight too.

Yes, that was a blast! I think the biggest turnouts so far have been:
I think that Sundays are hard with American football and I know that Tuesdays and Thursdays are difficult too - But that's OK! I'm pleased that folks are showing up at all. SO - I've updated this week's poster...  We started with Vampyr (1932) and, in short, I need to watch it again. I decided to rent it streaming from Amazon and it was not a very good version at all (Mett had his webcam on and the version that I could watch on his computer was MUCH BETTER than what I had in my home. I think I'll have to buy the Criterion version because this movie was amazing. The images were striking and quite horrifying - A couple of things stand out to me:
Really really compelling but I was ultimately distracted by the version I was watching (which had odd occasional dubbing) and messaging with Mett & Straker (that's on me; I should hold off on that until the end of the movie). The POV shot I especially found incredible and ahead of its time. I'd really love to hear other folk's thoughts - Thoughts on Vampyr... Thoughts on Nosferatu... Thoughts on early vampire flicks - If you had three vampire movies to watch this week, what would you watch and why?

The shots in Vampyr are quite good. I see why it's notable. But I think it's not easy to watch - ya have to be wide awake, can be hard to get into and follow. A bad copy can jump around a bit too.
I was looking forward to Interview. Only saw it once, and maybe only part of it (wasn't my video). With Bram Stoker... I really like all the Neo in the Drac' castle scenes. Coppola does a masterful job with those -- such amazing lighting, colors, shots and effects. I got really excited about the film there. It's like two different films. Everything else in the film really misses for me. I really don't like anything in England, nor do I like the entire ending. Drac is so different in England, & the two characterizations just don't link up at all for me. I even rather disliked all the interactions between Rider, her redheaded friend and Drac. I know he's the undead, but there was no life there for me. Besides the castle scenes, the story & heart just really seems to get lost. Quote:
Interview with a Vampire Martin Salem's Lot If you haven't seen this, I highly recommend: Daybreakers - modern day, Ethan Hawke, good quality, bit sci-fi
